    4G dongle - "unofficially supported" countries

    I'm not sure what you're looking at - but the list is not lengthy, there's one table and a box showing the countries where the dongle can be used - at the time of printing. Are we talking about different things?

    4G dongle - "unofficially supported" countries

    I did post the link further up - but just for you, here's the link again. https://support.dji.com/help/content?customId=en-us03400008285&spaceId=34&re=GB&lang=en&pbc=mF6h4ZTt

    Japan's ACSL Drone is New Thermal by FLIR Collaborator.

    Interesting flexibility. 25 minute flight time seems a bit short. Any pricing information?

    Over the past 8 years, drone noise levels have shown no improvement

    Here is a link to a video of all 4 drones tested. I measured the sound level at 1 meter. The camera was about 6 feet away. Neo - 71 dB, Mini 4 Pro - 67 dB, Mavic 3E - 71 dB and Matrice M30 - 80 dB.

    Just saw this now. Sure - It would be interesting to compare them side by side and make a video. I think I'll include by Neo for fun as well. I'll have to wait for a windless quiet day here to run the experiment.

    4G dongle - "unofficially supported" countries

    Each country controls access to the cellular network. That has to happen first. In the US, the relevant bodies have not authorized access yet - so the dongle doesn't work there - same in Canada here. Once that's OK, you will still need to get access to DJI's servers to enable it properly.

    4G dongle - "unofficially supported" countries

    Here's a link to the list showing the countries where the dongles can be used for 4G transmission. Yes - I see that Australia is not on the list - but perhaps the list is out of date? You can also contact DJI and ask them about which country(s) you are interested in...

    4G dongle - "unofficially supported" countries

    There's a list on the DJI website about which countries DO support 4G flight. That should answer your question.

    Over the past 8 years, drone noise levels have shown no improvement

    I have several DJI drones, and the latest acquisition - the NEO was surprisingly loud and irritating. I can clearly hear it over 500 feet away unlike my Mini 4 Pro, which I can't hear at that distance. Now my Matrice M30 sounds like an airplane - especially if flying into the wind. I can clearly...

    Best Frequency for Forest Flying

    In forested areas, I could never get beyond 1300' before the signal degraded and ordinarily much less with my Mavic 3. I tried following a stream for a documentary, but small and almost invisible branches from stream side trees made it impossible. 2.4 GHz is the same frequency as your microwave...

    Firmware update error 0x11210560001b at 71% on RC PRO

    In the past when I had the problem where an update kept failing at a certain point I had to delete the cache and start again.

    What is a safe height to go above power transmission lines?

    I tend to keep at least 60 feet above the TOWERS - since the lines are lower and if I just fly over the lines, it's easy to forget the towers are higher and accidents might happen. So far, no transmission issues with my Mavic 3E, Mini 4 Pro or Matrice M30.

    DJI Cellular Dongle 2?

    There are 2 versions of the Dongle 2 as well - one for the Chinese mainland and one for the rest of the world where connecting to and using the 4G network is allowed.

    How often should props be changed

    That's DJI's recommendation as well. I read it in one of my manuals, but can't remember which one.

    Anyone else notice this phenomenon while flying?

    My Air 2S attracted a lot of negative attention from seagulls like no other DJI drone I've owned. It might just be the pitch of the blades since I fly a Mini 4 Pro, a Mavic 3E and a Matrice M30 and the 2S was the one they hated LOL. I get interested looks from some birds with the Mini 4 Pro, and...
